Kiss I Wish For
05:59
|
|||
|
A kiss I wished for coming true
A kiss I wished for coming true
When the day's too long
For a Patience that's not strong
Well a kiss I wished for coming true
A song that I'll sing like I've never sung before
A song I'll sing like I've never sung before
When the day's too long
For a Patience that's not strong
A song I'll sing like I've never sung before
From that school where I first met you
To the top of Ingram Road
I'll wait for you in Central Station
Protect you from the Hesketh Cold
For a wedding with no wedding dress
You and me and a witness
We don't need a witness
A kiss I wished for for weeks coming true
A heart that's as full as it's ever been before
A heart that's as full as it's ever been before
When this life goes by
In the blinking of an eye
A heart that's as full as it's ever been before

Dancing at the Mecca

We're dancing at the Mecca
It's gone now
We're dancing the Gay Gordons
It's gone now
We're dancing at the Mecca
It's gone now
I'm here now with my best friends
They're gone now
Step one and I glide by
I make damn sure that you see
Step two this is just bliss
To be swept up in your stride
And the night was everything
This is where we first met
This dance floor
Strange that I'm in black dress
On this dance floor
I came in through the front line
Unnoticed
With a boot lace as a neck tie
For your kiss
Step one and I glide by
I make damn sure that you see
Step two this is just bliss
To be swept up in your stride
And the night was everything
Step three Oh well who'd tell
That a half life would fly by
Boutiques stand where we'd meet
Now a half life has gone by

Hymn of Hyde Park
03:14
|

|
Bring me some moonlight
And in these long nights
We'll play all night on Dodgem Cars
Bring me my sparkler
Out on Woodhouse Moor
We'll gather stars in bucketfuls
We'll stroll, enrich our souls
In 300,000 yards
Then we can bless all gracelessness
With the love of old Hyde Park
We'll stroll enrich our souls
In a green and pleasant land
This city's mess can try its best
'gainst the might of old Hyde Park
Did summer acquiesce
To days of uselessness
Play all night on dodgem cars
And did we not roll
Our drunken way back home
To the roads and lanes of Headingley

If you're tired too tired
To ride out this ride
Will you keep my hands on the reins
If you're tired too tired
And nothing seems right
Will you keep my hands on the reins

A kiss I wished for coming true
A kiss I wished for coming true
When the day's too long
For a Patience that's not strong
Well a kiss I wished for coming true
A song that I'll sing like I've never sung before
A song I'll sing like I've never sung before
When the day's too long
For a Patience that's not strong
A song I'll sing like I've never sung before

Quarry Hill

I was born in Quarry Hill
It's not there now but I love it still
Oh we're putting in a pin
I was born in the LGI
Changed a life under Christmas sky
Oh we're putting in a pin
To remember...we're putting in a pin
I lived a life on Carlton View
Not much now but it's all I knew
I start again on Bedford Street
The smell of home now my freedom's free
Oh Oh oh we're putting in a pin
To remember...we're putting in a pin
Pull down the blind and shut out the light
Count out the stars that map out the sky
Then count out the lives laid out below
The places they've been
We're putting in a pin
Lay me down in Beckett Street
Lay my bones where my family sleeps
Take my heart on Meanwood Road
Take my heart and I'll soon propose
That we stay here,
Where we're putting in a pin
Pull down the blind and shut out the light
Count out the stars that map out the sky
Then count out the lives laid out below
The places they've been
We're putting in a pin

Hope and Social Leeds
In the tradition of the travelling bands, we guess we’re a bit like a Yorkshire E-Street Band...meets Arcade Fire...meets
The Faces…meets Dexys Midnight Runners…meets Prefab Sprout…at a party...in an argument about who gets to have sex with David Bowie. We're not as good at describing ourselves as others are, so...

Little Battles
by She Makes War
The ace Laura Kidd. We've been treated to a sneak preview of this, but it's part of my regular headphone listening (Rich). Try "Blue" for aquatic, pretty pop fabness. Woop!

Mixed by our very own Ed. The ideal "getting ready for a night out" album. More hooks than a fisherman's box, more pep than a whippet on speed, and damn good songs to boot!

Waking up to this liddle tune as the sun streams through the window.....sweet, gentle, chilled, natural, calm, relaxing, peaceful, positive, thought provoking.....and breathe. So......writing a few words. Well there is a comment box!!! Does anyone read these?? Have you got a thang about long grass?! 😊🌾🍃🌿🌱 I have enjoyed how you pronounce your ‘u’ s for a while now, and this track doesn’t disappoint. Only Yorkshire folk will appreciate it. ‘Up’
